Oh? I thought the cost rule only applied if the cost was listed next to the required component in the spell stat.

Doesn't a casting focus make them unnecessary, or am I missing something? I would like the spell better if the alchemy supplies were required even with a casting focus.

Not sure if I like Healing Elixir for wizards. I love adding more new spells, but when you give additional abilities to classes that mimic abilities other classes have, you begin to muddy the distinction between various classes to some degree. And I think those distinctions are important and...

Think I found my answer: "Only Azuth, Elminster, Khelben Blackstaff Arunsun, Dornal the Watcher, and Mystra herself know, however, the true shining worth of the Seven Sisters, the Jewels of the Chosen." -From The Seven Sisters module.

I know I could post this at Candlekeep, but I don't actually post there. So I thought I'd ask any FR experts here to help out. I am putting together an epic Realms campaign world, that begins in 1372 FR (so the older, more original Realms). I've been doing gobs of research. One of the elements...

On the planescape.com main page, scroll down a bit. It's on the right side under "manuals and bonus content" right next to "system requirements." It's just a single sentence saying there will be a manual.

I would imagine this is just a guide book for the video game, not a full table-top campaign guide book for the Planescape setting.

I do what you do. I see what the spell requirements are. If it is verbal, it might be difficult to cast the spell unnoticed, unless the caster whispers and/or the target isn't in close proximity and/or there is other noise and they don't hear the whispering. Might call for a stealth check in...

They should still call it a Monster Hunter. Cooler name.

No, I am not confusing him with Blando. I know of each's works. I particularly have in mind Schley's large map of the Sword Coast and the northwestern part of Faerun. Look at the ocean. See all those swirls throughout the water? Swirls may not be the most accurate word. They are lines here and...

I haven't gotten mine yet, but from some of your descriptions of the deadliness (or not) of ToH, that does seem to be disappointing. However, the more I thought about it, the more I am thinking that it might not be all that bad. For one, it seems psychologically easier to increase damage and...

I'm also older (39), but I work in programming and web development. One of the other players in our group is a javascript developer. The others are in their 20s. We use apps, chat messenging, tablets, and all sorts of tech as tools in our game. But there's nothing like unfurling a magnificent...

I just draw individual rooms out on a big dry-erase grid battle map. I don't mind the idea of having the players draw their own map on grid paper to see how all the various rooms connect together and track the direction they have come from so far, though. I don't show them any kind of poster...

I think both of them are amazing artists. Have you seen Blando's book on cartography and adventure maps? It's pretty great. Having said that, I don't like the art style from either of them when it comes to D&D maps and dungeon layouts. I loved the old Deasel maps. Schleys' maps are beautiful...

I for one am thrilled they didn't mess around too much with the original adventures, and just converted them to 5th edition. It was a real letdown when I saw the 4th edition Undermountain book (Halls of Undermountain), where they cut out big and memorable chunks of the dungeon. I was hoping...

Our group had played the original once before, so when we played CoS, we all assumed we shouldn't go to the castle until we were ready to beat Strahd. So we avoided it until the end. Our DM tried to communicate to us that we could go to the castle whenever we wanted, but I guess we didn't...

I like Emi Tanji's triforce earrings. And I don't usually notice earrings.

Probably a special piece of enlarged art they were working with in the office. It looked to me like it was a special material, like a fabric map. I'm not big on full-sized dungeon maps anyway, since the players aren't supposed to see the whole map at once. They seem almost useless, unless you...
